Big 12 Announces Four-Year Scheduling Matrix for Football
The Big 12 Conference announced its 16-team, four-year scheduling matrix for the 2024- 27 football seasons with Utah entering its Big 12 era in 2024. Utah’s first season in the Big 12 will feature four conference home games and five on the road. The Utes will have some familiar foes at home in 2024 with TCU visiting Salt Lake City for the first time since 2010 while Iowa State hasn’t been to Utah since 1975. It will also mark Utah’s first-ever game against UCF and the first time the Utes have taken on Houston since 1978 and Oklahoma State since 1945. Utah’s scheduled game against Baylor on Sept. 14, 2024 in Rice-Eccles Stadium will remain a non-conference game for next season.
During the four years, all teams will play one another at least once home and away. Some match-ups will occur over three seasons while others take place in all four. The conference also looked to maintain the current 5/4, 4/5 home/away rotation for all 16 members to minimize non-conference scheduling disruptions.
The Utes entering next season with a 144-124-9 record against the teams that will be a part of the league in 2024. Utah has faced off against 11 of the 15 other teams, including a winning record against Baylor (1-0), BYU (62-35-4), TCU (5-3), West Virginia (2-0), Arizona (26-19-2) and Colorado (34-32-3).
